Chromodoris buchananae [Chromodoris buchananae]
Description
Divers may spot Chromodoris buchananae as a brightly colored nudibranch moving along the seafloor, often near reef structures and growths that support its food. Like many dorids, it’s generally calm and deliberate—ideal for close-up viewing without rushing. With careful buoyancy and slow finning, you can often get a clear look at its mantle patterning.
